It can be. It's situational. Calling those graphics outdated in a game that's deliberately going for old-school low-fidelity wouldn't really stick.

It holds up against films and music so
yes

Not entirely.
Some aspects of a game can objectively be called outdated, such as graphical and audio quality, key word being quality because it could still be appealing despite being old.
Gameplay is not something you can really call outdated though. It's just how the game works, it's the rules that make up the game.
You might have certain preferences on how they should work or be used to certain industry standards but for the most part this is just subjective taste.

Without qualification, no.

It is. Take Mario 64 for example. The control suck massive dick unless you’re Blinded by nostalgia.

How can movies and music be outdated?

For a personal opinion, yes.
For a review, no

I played that game in a hotel when I was like 6 some 27 years ago and it scared the living fuck out of me and when I saw the dogs crash through the window in Resident evil it gave me fucking ptsd flashbacks.

yes, "datedness" isn't uniform - some things hold up over time because of subjective tastes. A 20-year old multiplayer game with no player base is "dated" - just in the same way any other "mechanic" can be
are people out watching 1920's silent films? is dubstep still cool?
